The North Face Surge Backpack

2025-04-05T20:00:00

I've been using this Surge backpack since 2019 and it has been great! I've heard my family's thoughts on the newer model of the same backpack and they are not as impressed. The straps are more prone to breaking and the seams have started tearing pretty early in the life of their backpack. This being said, my older model has been so great! It's gone through years of hauling notebooks, folders, textbooks, water bottles, and clothes for practice after school. One of the shoulder straps did begin to tear last year (2024) slightly but a quick stitch-job has got it back to working order. I would definitely buy a North Face backpack again!

I bought the Surge since North Face describes its "ability to stand unsupported". It does not. The backpack keeps falling. This is a deal breaker for me. I was looking for a backpack that can stand and wouldn't have bought the Surge if I had known that I will have to find a chair or a wall for it every time.

I got this for my brother and it works perfect for him as a school bag! There are a bit too many compartments which makes it quite thick but it is still functional.

**Review: The North Face Surge Backpack** I've been using The North Face Surge Backpack for a few weeks now, and it has quickly become my go-to bag for almost everything. With its **31-liter capacity**, it's spacious enough to hold all my essentials without feeling bulky. The **streamlined design** is both stylish and functional, making it suitable for work, travel, and daily use. One feature I particularly appreciate is the **15'' laptop sleeve**. It's well-padded and secure, providing excellent protection for my laptop. The sleeve's placement allows for easy access, which is incredibly convenient when I need to quickly grab my laptop for work or security checks at the airport. The backpack's **water-repellent finish** has been a lifesaver on several occasions. Living in an area prone to sudden rain showers, I no longer have to worry about my belongings getting wet. This feature adds a layer of practicality that I didn't realize I needed. Another thoughtful design element is the backpack's ability to **stand unsupported**. It might seem like a small detail, but it makes a big difference when I'm working in a crowded space or need to access my items quickly. The bag remains upright and stable, which is a nice touch. Overall, The North Face Surge Backpack is an excellent choice for anyone in need of a versatile and reliable bag. Its combination of capacity, protection, and thoughtful design features make it indispensable for everyday use. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality backpack.

I'm using this for my school backpack. I don't use my locker and I needed something that would hold everything I need each day. It's the perfect size and I love North Face products because they offer a LIFETIME Warranty.

I like the pockets, but a big issue with this backpack is that you can't really fill all of the pockets. Once you put a laptop and notebook in the first compartment and then fill the front pockets the ability to use the main large pocket is drastically reduced. I can barely get a water bottle to squeeze in. I wish they would have kept the old Surge backpack design from a couple years ago, that worked much better

This bag is everything. I am a daily business backpack user and have had some great backpacks in the past. I did a ton of research and decided on this Surge Backpack. It is by far my favorite backpack that Ive ever used. It's the perfect size and great quality. I anticipate using this for years and years.

Really like this bag. Perfect work laptop bag. Compartments provide everything I need for storing glasses, cords, writing utensils, laptop cord, mouse, etc.

Great backpack. Love all the functional pockets for storage. The only issue I have with the backpack is the outer pockets. Those pockets essentially share the space with the main compartment. So if I add stuff to the outer pockets, you lose room in the main compartment. There's room enough for a change of clothing, a light jacket, and a small toiletry kit. I would like to give it 4.5 stars, since I really had only that one issue.

I love this bag. I purchase mines 2 years ago from North Face Ala Moana Goes with me on all my excursions on Big Island and travels to Europe and Africa. I can house my Canon R7/R6Mk2 and 16" MacBook Pro with no issues.

Though I have not been able to use this backpack yet, it has all the compartments that I will need on our trip to Iceland this summer. There is ample room for extra clothing, water bottle and camera tripod. We will be traveling by van and will need these items close by as we exit and enter the vehicle.

Good quality! Bigger bag for taller people. The laptop case is very protective. Only thing I wish the zippers on the top were metal. They'll eventually snap off. Part of the bag has metal zippers they should just have every compartment that way. It's worth the additional cost.
